Théophile Laverny (aka PhilePhilePhile) - The Relentless Chess Adventurer

Meet Théophile Laverny, a chess player whose rating journey is as colorful as a grandmaster's opening repertoire - well, almost! Starting off with a modest Daily rating of 800 in 2021, Théophile showed steady improvement, peaking at 899 by 2024. While not yet storming the elite ranks, his persistence and love for the game are undeniable.

Specializing in Blitz and Rapid formats, Théophile has logged thousands of games (we're talking over 2,000 in Blitz alone!), proving that quantity is sometimes the best kind of practice. His Blitz peak rating soared near 1000, reaching 973 in 2022, a testament to his quick thinking under time pressure. Rapid chess sees him shine with a solid 849 rating in 2024, making him a formidable opponent when given just a bit more thinking time.

Now, don't let the ratings fool you—Théophile’s style is a delightful mix of resilience and occasionally a graceful early resignation (5.65% of the time, but who’s counting?), showing he knows when to fight and when to retreat, just like a seasoned warrior. His comeback rate after losing a piece? A jaw-dropping 100% win rate. Opponents beware: once Théophile gives up material, he's just plotting the counterattack.

With an average game length of around 62 moves in wins, Théophile isn't one to rush—he prefers the marathon over the sprint, savoring each strategic nuance. His games are sprinkled with endgames (over 65% frequency), proving that this player thrives when the battlefield narrows down to king, pawns, and pure wit.

Ever the tactician, Théophile also has an impressive tactical awareness, rarely losing one-sided battles and showing a remarkable ability to keep his cool—his tilt factor is a modest 8, meaning even when the going gets tough, he stays in the game mentally.

When not battling it out on the board, Théophile seems to pick his battles smartly—his win rates vary by hour, with a surprising peak at 5 AM (a whopping 71.43%! Night owl or early bird, who can tell?). Saturdays might be for relaxing, but Sundays and those late evening games (11 PM at 64.5% win rate) seem to be prime time for his best play.

Théophile's favorite opening? Classified as "Top Secret"—adding a hint of mystery to his already enigmatic playstyle. Over 2,000 games have been played with this secret weapon, boasting a near 46% win rate in Blitz.

Beyond numbers, Théophile Laverny is a passionate competitor who embraces all forms of chess combat, from the blistering Bullet to the thoughtful Rapid. Whether facing familiar foes like othellopetfan or new challengers, he remains dedicated to the craft and is always ready to make the next bold move.

In the kingdom of pawns and knights, Théophile's journey continues - one game, one move, one victory (or well-timed resignation) at a time.
